Below we define a function with some conditions on it. In doing so,
Mathematica sees only graphic primitive whenever it evaluates the
VertexRenderingFunction option. (Arguably, the following example is
written in a more Mathematica fashion.) If the second argument is a
list, then the first definition (the less general definition indeed) is
evaluated and the empty list is returned. Otherwise, the more general
definition (the second in our case) is called and the graphic primitive
Text is returned.
myRender[r_, k_] := {} /; k == List
myRender[r_, k_] := Text[k, r]
TreeForm[{{a, b}, {c, {d}}}, VertexRenderingFunction ->
(myRender[#1, #2] & )]
